I think their servers are also being hammered right now from all the new regions getting Wii U. I'm in Manhattan, NY, and couldn't even log into the Miiverse or other online stuff when I tried a couple of hours ago.

more than 2hours elapsed, looks like 20%, so the update will take 10 hours .... this isn't serious
(this added to some cheap and noisy buttons, the volume control really looks .... no comment, big N is changing ....)
i just hope playing some games will have a more positive impact on me

This is taking hours to update and it keeps stopping and telling me it cannot connect to server. If I stop it now and try overnight will I be able to play the games I have bought for it. I got Nintendo Land, Sports Connection, Epic Mickey and New Super Mario Bros U.
I'll be annoyed if I can't play without the update as I spent over £400 in this morning on this lot and I haven't done anything on it yet.

Thanks for that. I asked my sister and my niece if they wanted to come and have a go tonight and thought I might have to cancel. It's got to about 40% but that's it, so I'll leave it for now and update overnight or tomorrow when hopefully it won't be as bad.

If you press 'cancel' on the update you can play games while it updates, just whatever you do DON'T SHUT OFF OR UNPLUG IT.
